About Chicago CityPASS : 5 Top Attractions
Chicago CityPASS has been the go-to multi-attraction pass for Chicago visitors for years — and the 4.7-star rating across 13,000+ reviews reflects consistent, positive real-world experience. The formula is straightforward: two guaranteed premium attractions, your choice of three more from a hand-curated shortlist, all bundled at up to 50% off.
Shedd Aquarium is the fixed cornerstone. One of the finest aquariums in the world, it houses over 32,500 marine animals including beluga whales, sharks, dolphins, penguins, sea otters, and the celebrated Amazon Rising exhibit. Your all-access CityPASS admission includes every exhibit plus a 4-D Experience — a fully immersive sensory film. Skydeck Chicago is the second fixed inclusion, with expedited entry that bypasses the regular elevator queue for direct access to the 103rd floor observation deck and The Ledge.
Your three remaining choices from the six optional attractions reflect the full range of what makes Chicago one of America's great cultural cities: the natural history of the Field Museum, the art of the Art Institute, the views from 360 Chicago, the cosmos at Adler Planetarium, the hands-on science of the Museum of Science and Industry, and the architectural masterclass of the Shoreline Architecture River Tour. Choose based on what matters most to you. Book your Chicago CityPASS on Thrillark and plan five of Chicago's finest days.

Insiders' Tips
Book the Architecture River Tour and Skydeck Chicago reservations as soon as you receive your CityPASS — both fill up quickly, especially on weekends and during summer. Day 1 suggestion: Shedd Aquarium + Architecture River Tour (both near Museum Campus/River). Day 2: Skydeck + Art Institute (both in the Loop). Day 3: Field Museum (Museum Campus again). This geographical clustering minimises travel time between attractions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 3 optional attractions should I choose?
The Architecture River Tour is the most universally praised choice — a 75-minute narrated cruise of Chicago's legendary riverfront architecture that most visitors call their Chicago highlight. The Field Museum and Art Institute both deliver exceptional value. If you have children, the Museum of Science and Industry is particularly popular. 360 Chicago offers a different skyline perspective from Skydeck.
Does the Shedd Aquarium all-access include the 4-D Experience?
Yes — your CityPASS includes all-access admission to Shedd Aquarium including all permanent exhibits, Animal Spotlights, seasonal Stingray Touch, and a 4-D Experience (subject to availability). Note: the 4-D Experience is closed for renovation January 5 – April 30, 2026.
What is expedited entry at Skydeck?
Expedited entry means you bypass the standard elevator queue and get priority access — typically placing you within 2–4 elevator rides of the 103rd floor, rather than waiting in the general admission line.
How many days do I have to use the pass?
9 consecutive calendar days from the first attraction visit or earliest reservation. There is no deadline to start using the pass after purchase, so you can buy in advance and activate when ready.
